AI Advances Influence Modern Warfare and Global Technology Competition

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping modern warfare and global technology dynamics. In the Iran conflict, AI accelerates military decision-making and precision strikes, raising ethical concerns about autonomous weapons. The US military employs AI chatbots like Palantir's Claude to analyze intelligence and plan operations. Globally, AI dominance hinges on control over computing infrastructure, with the US leading in AI compute capacity, while countries like China, the EU, and emerging hubs compete for influence in this evolving landscape.
